FUEL<br />
WARNING<br />
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or<br />
bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make<br />
sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before<br />
refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for<br />
fueling and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from<br />
the fueling point before starting the engine.<br />
• The HITACHI engines are lubricated by oil specially<br />
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine<br />
use. If genuine oil is not available, use an antioxidant<br />
added quality oil expressly labeled for aircooled<br />
2-cycle engine use(JASO FC GRADE OIL or<br />
ISO EGC GRADE).<br />
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)<br />
mixed oil.<br />
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO<br />
GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1<br />
<br />
• Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental<br />
engine parameters and components (eq.,<br />
carburation, ignition timing and port timing)<br />
without addition of any major hardware or the<br />
introduction of an inert material during combustion.<br />
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded<br />
gasoline.<br />
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane<br />
number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).<br />
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than<br />
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine temperature<br />
may rise and an engine problem such as<br />
piston seizing may consequently occur.<br />
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the<br />
contamination of the air for the sake of your health<br />
and the environment.<br />
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing<br />
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.<br />
HOW TO MIX FUEL<br />
WARNING<br />
• Pay attention to agitation.<br />
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to<br />
be mixed.<br />
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved<br />
fuel container.<br />
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.<br />
<strong>RB160EF</strong><br />
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for<br />
at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult<br />
to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient<br />
agitation is necessary for the engine to last long.<br />
Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there<br />
is an increased danger of early piston seizing due<br />
to abnormally lean mixture.<br />
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container<br />
to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other<br />
containers.<br />
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for<br />
easy identification.<br />
FUELING THE UNIT<br />
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on<br />
a dustless place.<br />
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.<br />
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel<br />
spillage around the unit.<br />
WARNING<br />
1. Select bare ground for fueling.<br />
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling<br />
point before starting the engine.<br />
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that<br />
time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline<br />
in the container.<br />
FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:<br />
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will<br />
cause severe damage to the internal engine parts<br />
very quickly.<br />
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber<br />
and/or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.<br />
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause<br />
spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston<br />
ring sticking.<br />
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a<br />
period of one month or more may clog the carburetor<br />
and result in the engine failing to operate<br />
properly.<br />
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period<br />
of time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty.<br />
Next, activate the engine and empty the carburetor<br />
of the composite fuel.<br />
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,<br />
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.<br />
• As for details of quality assurance, read the description<br />
in the section Limited Warranty carefully.<br />
Moreover, normal wear and change in product<br />
with no functional influence are not covered by the<br />
warranty. Also, be careful that, if the usage in the<br />
instruction manual is not observed as to the mixed<br />
gasoline, etc. described therein, it may not be covered<br />
by the warranty.<br />
